Anjuelle Floyd replied to Sir Markus Cross's discussion 'Pinpointing Inspiration' in the group The HOT Seat -
The first book I read that left a lasting impression upon me as an adult was and still is A Sin of Color by Sunetra Gupta. There were many things about this book and Sunetra’s writing that gripped me in not so much an overt manner, rather subtly a...

Anjuelle Floyd replied to Sir Markus Cross's discussion 'How Deep?' in the group The HOT Seat -
I do write from my soul, Markus. And many readers of my work have commented that my stories feel channeled through me, as I, the author and writer serve as a vessel, a portal through which the characters and their actions emerge onto the page. In ...

Sir Markus Cross commented on Rianna's blog post 'To hold you one last time...'
You always put your soul on paper and seemingly invite the world to have a look. I've always admired that about you greatly. You're far braver than I.

I Love Pancakes

"All men are created equal." Who said it first? What does it mean? And does anyone believe it? I think a woman said it first. It sounds a lot like 'All men are dogs.' But all dogs aren't equal so who knows? Do all men go to heaven? I bet that would make lame movie as opposed to the Dog one which was great. It's proof that people and animals shouldn't be mixed. So this Halloween I don't want to see any women dressed as 'sexy' cats or bunnies. For that matter I don't want to see any men dresse… Continue

Time Is Nothing Without Numbers

My parents have a new microwave. It's the dumbest design for a household appliance ever. It has no number buttons. Well, that's a slight lie. It has a one-minute button and a one-second button. A one-second button. Why the hell would I want to hook something up for one second?! Who's the ignorant engineer who took the phrase "just a second" literally?
Instead of numbers, this campy contraption has buttons which have pictures of food. It's like Fisher-Price for adults. "Hmm, I need to microwave t… Continue

Allow Me To Plead My Case

For the past few days I've been in friendly email contact with an ex-girlfriend of mine. For most of you, contact with an ex may not be a big deal, but for me, contact with an ex without the requirement of a police escort is major. We ended on bad terms, but now it seems we may be able to go back to being friends as long as we pretend we never dated. In the process of ignoring the 800-pound gorilla standing in the room, I started thinking about forgiveness. What exactly is it and do we really fo… Continue

EXtamining EXtravagant Experiences

I just finished watching The Strangers on dvd. You know, the Liv Tyler movie where some people show up and terrorize an unsuspecting couple. It got me to reminiscing about past girlfriends. I'm not sure why. Maybe because the movie sucked. Regardless, what you are about to read is heartfelt and honest. (And just a heads up, there's no sexual stories here. You gotta pay me for those tales and videos.) Oh, and I'm changing the names to protect the innocent, i.e. ME.


First, there was a pre… Continue

You Can't Fool Me

I know the lion is perceived as king of the jungle, and that may be true, but I now see it's the queen, the lioness who runs the show. People think the lion rules because he lays around doing nothing while the females hunt for food. I see now this apparent laziness is not a privilege.

When lions first came into existence the males tried to hunt, but couldn't get the job done. They mostly just hung out with the monkeys and played around the whole time. Even when they did bring food back, they on… Continue

I wish I had that problem. I haven't written anything in forever. I've got the writing version of stage fright.

Thanks Markus, I just think you have some talent to keep readers interested and that's what it takes to sell. I've been very busy lately so I go in and out of here without spending much time but I always try to read the new blogs. Hope you keep posting.

Who Is Markus Cross?

I'm not completely sure who Markus Cross is. He just showed up in my brain one day. I discovered if I just write what he says he tends to leave me alone.

Now as for me, I love boxing, reading, writing, and watching movies. And boxing. That's pretty much it. I think from the outside looking in people see me as a boring person. But all of my imaginary friends keep me entertained.

Let's see. I live in Japan as a member of the US military; Air Force to be specific. Japan is amazing. Everyone's nice and you never have to search for sushi. It basically falls out of the sky like manna.

I'm 30 years old but am constantly mistaken for a teenager. People think this is a good thing. It's not. Women my age won't date me since I look so child-like. This greatly interferes with my dream of getting married to a wealthy woman and never having to work again. EVER!
